The rupture process of recent tsunamigenic earthquakes by geophysical data inversion
… focal mechanism, the depth of the rupture, the slip distribution along the fault area and by the mechanical properties of the source zone. Each of these factors plays a fundamental role in the tsunami generation. Therefore, inferring the source parameters of tsunamigenic earthquakes is crucial …

Investigating Taphonomic Changes of Deposits and Modeling of the 2010 Earthquake and Tsunami in South-Central Chile
… simulated tsunamis from published co-seismic slip distributions of the earthquake with observations from post-tsunami surveys and modified these distributions to determine the most important tsunami-forming characteristics of the earthquake. To investigate taphonomic changes of the deposits, …

Surface Offset and Slip Rates for the Winter Rim Fault System in the Summer Lake Basin, Oregon
… ~264° (Crider, 2001). The USGS estimates a slip rate of 0.43 mm/yr, earthquake magnitudes of 6.5-7.19, and recurrence interval of 3.1 ka (Crone et al., 2009). However, these estimates are only based upon ARF and the unfavorably slip-oriented SMF. With high-resolution LiDAR, means to …

A quasi-dynamic and self-consistent rupture model to simulate earthquake ruptures
… with a boundary element method for quasi-static slip calculation. The orientation of the modeled rupture plane is defined by a previously performed moment tensor inversion. The simultanously inverted scalar seismic moment allows an estimation of the extension of the rupture. The modeled rupture …

Improvement of aftershock models based on Coulomb stress changes and rate-and-state dependent friction
… of triggered seismicity are based on the redistribution of stresses in the crust, coupled with the rate-and-state constitutive law proposed by Dieterich to calculate changes in seismicity rate. This type of models are known as Coulomb- rate and-state (CRS) models. In spite of the success of …

GPS based analysis of earthquake induced phenomena at the Sunda Arc
… deformational response to unit dip- and strike slip at the subfaults, were computed using a layered half-space approach. Different scaling relations for earthquake dimensions and slip distribution were implemented. Another project-related task was the further development of the ‘GPS-shield’ …

Kinematics and Dynamics of Continental Deformation
… are used to study the source parameters and slip distribution of this earthquake, and demonstrate that the earthquake was left-lateral and occurred on a fault striking ENE–WSW; approximately perpendicular to previously studied faults in the adjacent Minab-Zendan-Palami fault zone. Geological …

Characterization of active tectonic structures of the Etna volcano, through geophysical surveys, analysis of site response and deformation
… a kinematic behavior of a right-lateral strike-slip fault with releases energy during aseismic creep. Furthermore, this fault system, which can be considered the southern boundary of the sliding of Etnean eastern slope, was less studied than the northern sliding boundary and very little is known …

Anti-plane Shear of Cylinders and Layered Systems: Cohesive Fracture and Instability
… failure. The anti-plane shear separation/slip process is assumed to be modeled by Needleman-type traction-separation relations (e.g., bilinear, Xu-Needleman, frictional) characterized by a shear cohesive strength, a characteristic force length and, in the case of the bilinear law, a finite …
